[Vk5-wx-sonde] new decoder

Sat Jun 23 01:28:34 PDT 2018

The horusbinary.py script will report errors if what is receives is corrupt
or invalid, but it will keep on running.
I suspect the version of netcat you have on your system may take different
arguments to what's on my machines (which is weird.. i've been testing on
Ubuntu 18.04). Try with:
nc -l -u -p 7355 localhost

(If you run this command by itself, with GQRX running and UDP output
enabled, you should see a bunch of gibberish flood your terminal - that way
you know it's working).

Your second example won't work at all. If you don't specify --stdin,
horusbinary.py expects to be receiving the binary packet data via UDP,
which it won't get from the horus_demod utility.

What are you using as a test signal source?

Cheers,
Mark
